After two years of a relatively staid relationship, it appears that George Clooney and WWE wrestler/model/hot lady Stacy Keibler have gone their separate ways, according to Radar Online. Reports a source: "They knew it was never going to end in marriage or babies and Stacy does want kids and a husband in the next few years."

Each article detailing a split between Clooney and an ex references her "failure" to get him to commit in the long run. But as far as I can tell, dating Smirkface Silverfox (as I affectionately call him) would be a Danny Ocean-esque whirlwind of hedonism and great sex... with an expiration date. Having an awesome time until it ends is hardly a failure. Nobody gets attached, nobody gets hurt. Right? It's like continuing to pursue that guy who never texts you back: you have all the info you need on his so-called "commitment level." And if you can handle that, great.

Nevertheless, we've always been much more captivated with tales of scorned women, tossed aside by Hollywood sex symbols. The New York Post called it a "curse," depicting the post-Clooney lives of his myriad girlfriends as a sad, empty existence. [One ex-girlfriend's] tale epitomizes the typical two-year life cycle (give or take) of a Clooney girlfriend: a no-name model-actress-bartender briefly turns celebrity-by-association while dating the Hollywood star, only to fade back into obscurity once he moves on to his next affair.

Still worse, Clooney's pre-Keibler ex, Elisabetta Canalis, was spotted last year making out with Steve-O. Here's hoping Stacy fares better. After rolling with Danny Ocean for two years, it's understandable if she needs a break from the dating game.

What do you think? Do women date George Clooney knowing what they're getting themselves into?
